Steve Jobs Says Printing "Will Come" for iPad
Since Steve Jobs has taken it upon himself to answer customer queries, he becomes a frequently cited source for what Apple is working on. According to one reader, Steve Jobs replied to an email asking why there are no printing capabilities on the iPad. Steve Jobs reportedly replied "It will come."
While these email replies can be difficult to authenticate, previous rumors have claimed that Apple is indeed working on printing to make the iPad more appealing to enterprise customers.

It will be interesting to see how Apple solves this issue.
Gut feeling is that it will be different than the traditional approach using device/OS side print drivers like a regular desktop/laptop print solution.

"It will come"
So will death. Personally I'm waiting for the option of a proper cursor (so you can add a mouse) and a proper OS. Cue the fanboys dribbling that I "don't get it", new paradigm, blah blah blah.
Oh wait let me guess, you want full OS X, mouse and keyboard. You know Apple already makes something like that. It's called a notebook, they have several. You should try one.

I have a feeling that the iPhoneOS 4.0 for iPad will contain some more tweaks and stuff, which are not part of the beta versions.
Don't tell me an iPad branch with the exact same features, will be half a year delayed just because its on iPad.

For those with printers with no wifi or BT; You just dropped $500 on an iPad. What's another 40 bucks? :P

The notebook is much bigger, heavier and has no touchscreen. Meanwhile, there is no technical reason why the iPad can't have a cursor, mouse and a proper OS.

I'd be happy with printing to PDF and sending the files over to my MobileMe storage. As it is now I have to take screen shots whenever I purchase something online while using the iPad.

Eesh, snarky.
I'm with the OP; if the iPad didn;t have a gimped OS, I would've considered buying one. As it is, I already have one, though it's a touch smaller :P
